https://www.warhammer-community.com/2021/08/12/the-sons-of-behemat-receive-a-gargantuan-battletome-update-in-this-months-white-dwarf/

Apparently White Dwarf is going to be doing updates to 2.0 tomes until 3.0 tomes come out.

Those look like temporal patches and that's fine, I mean, Sons of Behemat have no other way to get a second enhancement. They just can't fit most of the normal core battalions.

did absolutely fuck all

With how slow the battle tomes are looking like to come out, I bet this style is the only update some armies are gonna see in 3rd.

Yeah, I don’t think it’ll be a problem, though it’s possible other factions cause problems with unique Core Battalions.

Sons of Behemat don't even get to use core battalions normally because they don't have any non-monster heroes. Why not throw them a bone?

SCE preview mentions thematic battalion structures. I don't know if this means more battalions or what. I did think they said it was core battalions or bust.

Speak up, there's something in my ear.

Core battalions such as 1 big guy rest small, 2 big guys rest small, 3 big guys rest small, or all big guys.

They're only promising two Core Battalions - one for small guys to make them faster, and one for two big guys to let you get a second artifact.

“We saw how excited you were at the Sons of Behemat core battalion, so starting next month, each issue of white dwarf will include a special, never-before-seen core battalion for one army!”

the first five allow you to do like a 2” pregame move with one unit, the sixth one lets your entire army ignore rend entirely for a turn

40k is aiming for 1-2 codexes a month through 2021, so I’m not sure “slow” is what GW is aiming for.

What do you think is behind the way allies are assigned? Orruks can only ally with Gloomspite. That's fine, but seems a little strange they can't ally with Ogors. In some sense, I don't understand why you couldn't just ally across your Grand Alliance (outside of taking a GA army).

Similar story for Bonereapers, who can't ally with anyone, but have pretty decent lore reasons why they might ally with Nighthaunt at the very least (and given they co-occupy territory with Gravelords you could make a case for that as well).

As far as gameplay reasons, maybe they are trying to avoid weird degenerate combos, but the game seems pretty resilient to that kind of thing given keyword restrictions?

These questions mostly come from a Path of Glory perspective.

In some cases it’s based on the ongoing plot, which is why SCE can’t ally with DoK any more.

In others, :iiam:

With Ossiarchs my guess is to avoid questions about what happens when using Relentless Discipline with non-Ossiarch units.

I hope the next preview shows more love for Ironjawz, the only True Orruks.

Although, definitely taking those Man-skewer Boltboyz as allies in the army.

I think the Bonereapers can ally themselves with some other Death Armies, but don't take them as allies. (Story reason I would say it's to avoid upsetting their tactics and discipline.)

I bought a Bonespliterz Wardokk and the sprue is softer and a much lighter shade of gray than anything else I have. Is this a finecast model, or resin?, and does GW plastic glue still work?

If it looks like this kinda sprue:


Then yes, it's resin (which is often called finecast by GW but they don't always use the term).

The GW plastic glue WON'T work - you'll want to use Superglue or an epoxy or something.

Also be careful if you're filing/sanding - wear a dust mask if you need to sand stuff down.

If you have any parts that are bent or warped, a common way to fix them is to get a cereal bowl and fill it with cool water. Run your sink tap hot, put the piece to bend under it for a couple seconds (doesn't take long), bend/hold it how you want it, and dunk your weird claw maneuver hand into your cool bowl.

I forgot to mention washing!!

For the most part, the GW/FW stuff hasn't been TOO mould-release-agent present, but as a general "safety step" I always wash resin (anyone's resin)

I use super cheap (dollar store) dish soap and warm water, dunk your stuff, watch a movie or something, and then toothbrush stuff quick - the chemical did most of the work already for you

Let 'em dry and go to town!

I've done a look around the internet for any upcoming AoS releases, but can't seem to find anything new coming for Khorne in the next 6 months. I've got a ton of Blood Warriors, Reavers, and other units including a Korgath, but I'd really like one of the cool big units like a Blood Thirster... Only thing is I don't love the current big centerpiece models for Khorne and so was wondering if the goon hive mind was aware of any rumored new releases coming for Khorne.

I know some really cool lords / dragons have come out for a lot of other factions, and so was hoping there might be something in store for Khorne.

It’s a vary big maybe as we don’t know any upcoming 3e releases other than Stormcast and Orruks right now. Khorne has tended to get stuff, but we don’t know much right now.

GW doesn't do release roadmaps far into the future. Generally we find out about new releases a couple of weeks before they hit stores.

The Khorne battletome, although a little long in the tooth, is not particularly old so I wouldn't expect a new battletome until sometime next year. They generally do not release new models for factions except as part of a battletome release.

I've just realized that they never posted the warscroll pdfs for the dominion units and while its likely they're just waiting for the battletomes I'm slightly worried that this is going to be a thing going forward.
